Learning fast
This week, all of the children have been busy in class, enthusias�cally focussing on their new
learning in Maths, wri�ng, reading and topic. There were 2 great sharing assemblies this
morning –well done to Manchester Class and Dundee Class who shared their work so far this
term. It is always a tough job to be the first class assembly of the school year, so fantas�c
work everyone!
We also had our first Celebra�on Assemblies this week. For those of you who do not know
about these assemblies –they are held weekly and are all about celebra�ng good behaviour,
good teamwork, good effort and good work! Each week the class teacher chooses a ‘Star of
the Week’ who is awarded a cer�ficate for their achievements. As well as this award, we also
present ‘Spanish Star of the Week’ for each age-phase –selected by Belen our Spanish teach-
er, and lots of children receive a ‘Happy Faces’ cer�ficate for achieving 3 happy faces in class
over the week. Other awards presented are for good lunch�me manners and behaviour and
children, mainly in KS2 can earn a ‘Pen Licence’ when they have mastered cursive and neat
wri�ng techniques. And I have already sent lots of postcards home for excellent work, espe-
cially in Year 2 –the children are so proud to share their work with me, so thank you. I look
forward to seeing work from other year groups in the coming weeks. As you can read, we
always have lots to celebrate at Millfields!
In a special assembly this week, Millfields were awarded the ‘Golden Shoe’ Trophy. This
award is for the massive effort that you and your children made to walk to school during the
summer term. In total, we had 574 children walking to school at least once a week. This was
an impressive 91% of children receiving a badge for walking to school. Well done and keep
up the good work! We are featured on the Hackney website link here h?p://
news.hackney.gov.uk/hackney-council-stars/
We also had a Governors School Tour this morning. Thank you to two of our new governors,
LEA and Parent Governor who had a walk around the school and Children’s Centre. It was
noted that all the children were on task, and focussed and that there was a very calm and
orderly atmosphere in the school. We look forward to more Governor Visits that will focus
on specific areas of the curriculum over the coming weeks.
The Leadership Team have been mee�ng with teachers this week, to look at provision for all
pupils in their class, and to ensure that the appropriate support and challenge are in place
for individuals and groups of children. There will be a follow-up mee�ng next half term to
look at progress in reading, wri�ng and Maths.
I have my fingers crossed that the building works is near comple�on and that the scaffolding
will be down in the next few days! Thank you again for being so pa�ent. The children have
been fantas�c and are now keen to see the finished project too.
Finally, have a good weekend. I hope the sun is s�ll shining!
Best, Jane
